73 Computation 'getProgName' returns the name of the program as it was
76 However, this is hard-to-impossible to implement on some non-Unix
77 OSes, so instead, for maximum portability, we just return the leafname
78 of the program as invoked. Even then there are some differences
79 between platforms: on Windows, for example, a program invoked as foo
80 is probably really @FOO.EXE@, and that is what 'getProgName' will return.
